As an in-kind compensation, EACOP opted to replace the classroom block that was affected by the project. It also constructed additional structures.

The EACOP Deputy MD John Bosco Habumugisha said the construction of these additional facilities is intended to support Kabajjo Memorial Junior School to provide a conducive learning environment and welfare of the learners, teachers, and non-teaching staff of the school.
